1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and compare it with rituximab.

methodsWe conducted a single-center, observational study including 22 MOGAD patients treated with ofatumumab and 21 treated with rituximab. The primary outcome is relapse, while the secondary outcomes are disability status and adverse events.

resultsTwenty-two patients received ofatumumab for a median duration of 19.5 months (range 6-41). Among them, 18 patients (81.82%) remained relapse-free during follow-up. Annualized relapse rate (ARR) significantly decreased from 1.30 (95% CI 0.74-2.29) pretreatment to 0.12 (95% CI 0.04-0.35) during ofatumumab therapy (IRR 10.86, 95% CI 3.22-36.70, p < 0.001). Through propensity score matching, 11 patients in the ofatumumab group and 11 patients in the rituximab group were compared. Ofatumumab was observed to be associated with a significantly lower risk of a second attack (HR 0.233, 95% CI 0.061 to 0.893, p = 0.018) compared to rituximab. Adverse events were reported in 54.55% patients (6/11) treated with ofatumumab, most of which were mild and occurred after the initial dose.

interpretationOfatumumab was associated with a lower relapse risk compared with rituximab in patients with MOGAD.
